Check with your employer to see if they have a matching gifts plan in place and your donations could easily double or triple! Every company might have a different process for how you get those additional matching gifts, but it&'s worth taking the time to find out. Let us help you through the process!

You’ve heard it before, riders need to drink, drink, and drink!
Fluids are crucial to your performance and sense of well-being, but it is amazing how few cyclists heed this advice. You might forget to drink because of the excitement of the ride and become dehydrated which is a common problem among cyclists, especially in warm weather. To prevent this you must always drink plenty of fluids while you ride and also prepare in advance. Check out even more of our hydration secrets.
Getting your muscles ready to ride!
Stretching is extremely important in keeping your muscles flexible and injury free, but there are a lot of things people do wrong when stretching. We’ve got some helpful hints for you such as warming up first, stretching equally on both sides your body and much more!
We can help you go the distance to Stop Diabetes!
If you are looking to ride 30, 60 or 100 miles we have a great daily training schedule for you! These sample training programs are designed for someone who can already cycle 10 miles at a 10 mph pace without difficulty. It is only a guideline. If you cannot currently cycle 10 miles then start with 3 miles, build up over the next 2 weeks to a 10-mile ride, and then start the program.
